There are some old licenses for Brain Voyager around. This point-and-click commercial package has many impressive features. I don't think we have BrainVisa installed at present, but someone may educate me! |

Major neuroimaging software packages installed at the CBU

There is [:AvailableSoftware:a list of the people responsible for maintaining our neuroimaging (fMRI & MEG) software].
Smaller tools
[:MriCro:MriCro and its successor MriCron] are a pair of very useful tools for viewing structural or functional images, producing 3D renderings of activation, and examining anatomical templates.
Extensions to SPM/Matlab
